Myrtle Rust ResourcesUpdated: 22 January 2018

An increasing number of myrtle rust cases are being reported in Auckland and around the North Island, which have the potential to have significant impacts on our amenity trees, the way we work, and what our landscape may look like in decades to come.

MPI have shared a selection of flyers with NZ Arb which they hope members will be able to distribute through our collectives networks, helping to track and manage the spread of the disease.

In particular, they would like to encourage the download and use of the App that has been designed for this to help track the progress of the disease.

NZ Arb wishes to thank all the competitors for participating in the Husqvarna – NZ Arb National TCC at Rotorua.

Craig Wilson won the Men’s Masters to be crowned 2014 champion, while Nicky Ward-Allen won the Women’s title once again. Nicky has stood down from representing NZ at the next ITCC in Florida and so Steph White will be the NZ rep for the women along with Craig Wilson, joining defending ITCC Champion Scott Forrest in the kiwi team.

About the National Tree Climbing Championship

Regional tree climbing competitions are held around New Zealand to provide a platform for arborists to learn about the latest in climbing techniques and innovations in equipment. The top men and women qualifiers from the rgional events then compete at the National Championship. They showcase the highest level of professional skills and safety, providing a competitive learning environment for those working in the industry. The winners go on to the International TCC held by the ISA.

Currently, New Zealand climbers Scott Forrest and Nicky Ward-Allen are the World Champions in both the Men’s and Women’s respectively.

The competitions simulate working conditions of arborists in the field. Male and female competitors perform five different events during preliminary rounds. Each event tests a competitor’s ability to professionally, and safely maneuver in a tree while performing work-related tree-care tasks in a timely manner.

Competitive tree climbing also introduces the public to the skills professional tree climbing arborists must use for safe, professional tree work.
